Road Rovers is an American animated television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation that premiered on Kids' WB on September 7, 1996. After one season it ended on February 22, 1997. Reruns continued to air until September 6, 1997. It was then on Cartoon Network from February 7, 1998 until 2000.
The show follows the adventures of the Road Rovers, a team of five super-powered crime-fighting anthropomorphic dogs, known as "cano-sapiens".
In the town of Socorro, New Mexico (one year prior to the formation of the Road Rovers), Professor Shepherd was forced to relinquish experimental transdogmafier technology to General Parvo in exchange for his lost dog, but instead Parvo gives him a bomb that destroys his laboratory. Next year, as normal dogs begin to mutate into monsters, Shephard, who miraculously survived the attack, takes measures to stop Parvo who is behind this.
Shepherd selects five different dogs and in his new, secret underground lab, he uses his new transdogmifier on the five, turning them into "Cano-sapiens".
That explains her relation with Hunter, through all the episodes, Colleen gets along well with Hunter (sometimes), that can make Hunter and Colleen someday become something more than just simply friends. While for Blitz, it’s the opposite, what Blitz just want, it’s to conquer Colleen’s heart with no excuses. This causes to Colleen play with Blitz until he gets angry. There’s no information or any story about her parents, nor her old master, in the beginning, she was in a dark alley carrying a bone, while defend herself from other rough dogs, and after that, she lives with the prime minister of the United Kingdom (UK).
His relation with the rovers sometimes doesn’t go pretty well like Hunter, Colleen, Exile and Shag do with each other, and sometimes when Blitz isn’t doing the right thing, his friends are like teasing him, especially Colleen and Exile. Whenever he acts like weird, Exile always says him: “Don’t be a weird, boy!” Whenever he tries to get a love relation with Colleen, sometimes Colleen likes to play with him, her favorite play it’s giving Blitz other names, she calls him names like: “Mr. fluffy pants”, “Fluffy” or even “Blister”. And sometimes whenever Blitz tries to put a finger on her, she always defend herself by kicking Blitz really hard (don’t worry, blood not included). The only person who knows Blitz’s problem it’s Hunter, and tries the best to make Blitz understand that Hunter isn’t like the other teammates, and he does try to respect him in many ways. It even shows that Hunter doesn’t want to abandon Blitz (even though Colleen suggests it), something that hints viewers that Blitz and Hunter are like friends. He used to work as a guard dog from thieves, now; he lives with the chancellor of Germany.
